OK, and 'm' I am not trying to pick a fight, but the claim that:
>The vegetarianism here is a self-imposed limit
>whose crossability seems to me to be inherent in the very fact of its being
>conciously self-imposed.
Totally misses the point and posits a level of 'freedom of subjectivity'
that is simply untenable. Many of my friends are vegetarians, as I interact
with them their beliefs and practices enable and constrain mine as do mine
theirs. The social is always in the individual as a product-in-process and
decisions are never purely the result of self-imposition or otherwise.
Equally, is 'rock bitch's' performance a performance or is it for real? If
it is for real then it may constitute your notion of a transgression. But if
it is a cynical marketing ploy then does the same apply. But how would you
know if the orgasms are real or not?

So, if God is dead is transgression possible?
Just some questions from an unconvinced observer.
